What do you know of the rambling shoemakers who came to a farmhouse and stayed until each member of the family was newly shod with leather from the farm's cattle? Have you ever wondered about the processes by which our frontiersmen translated forest land into fields of wheat? What do you know about those two first crops of the pioneers, ashes and maple sugar? What do you know of log houses, of shingle making, bridges, and flax growing, of spinning and weaving cloth for a garment that was homegrown and homemade? Here is folk history, the accumulated memory of old men and women whom the author knew,... memories he has substantiated by a lifetime of research."-from the Foreword by Louis C. JonesThe Golden Age of Homespun chronicles the occupations, handicrafts, and traditions that defined rural life in upstate New York-and throughout much of America-in the first half of the nineteenth century. First published in 1953, it is an engaging and affectionate account of how land was cleared, farms established, and homes built; of how each family fed, clothed, and warmed itself; and of the trades, crafts, and industries that augmented a primarily agrarian economy. Illustrated with 45 delightful line drawings that depict the activities and implements described by Jared van Wagenen, Jr., The Golden Age of Homespun is an invaluable record of how upstate New York farmers lived on and off the land in the decades before the Civil War-a vanished way of life that still holds strong appeal in the American imagination. 606 $aAgriculture$zNew York (State)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgriculture$xHistory. 676 $a338.1097471 700 $avan Van Wagenen$b Jared$cJr.,$01055557 702 $aAustin$b Erwin H. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466636603321 996 $aThe golden age of homespun$92489071 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01036nam a2200229 i 4500 001 991001644679707536 008 970109s2001 it a 001 0 ita d 035 $ab13404751-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Beni Culturali$bita 245 03$aIl ripostiglio di Montecalvo (Pavia) 1923 :$b(antoniniani di Gallieno e Claudio II Gotico) /$ca cura di Andrea Gariboldi. 260 $aMilano :$bComune di Milano, Settore cultura, Civiche raccolte numismatiche,$c2001. 300 $a63 p. :$bill. ;$c28 cm. 440 0$aRipostigli monetali in Italia: documentazione dei complessi 504 $aContiene bibliografia. 650 04$aMonete romane$zMontecalvo (Italia)$ySec.
